Greetings!
Community Arts in Vancouver - Past, Present and Future
To celebrate our 65th Anniversary, we have a series of events planned for the fall. We hope to see you at one, two or all three.
As a part of this program, we are conducting a short survey. Click here to complete our survey - getting your input is important to us!
The Past:
A special working group of people involved in the Arts Council over the years has planned a celebratory tea party for Sunday, October 2, reaching out in particular to past "movers and shakers" - board members, staff, committee members, as well as what we affectionately call "our progeny" - organizations and groups that we have provided support to founding over the years.
The Present:
We invite you to add your voice to defining the state of community arts in Vancouver right now by completing our survey which will require only 5-10 minutes of your time. Your input will provide us (and you!) with very useful information. On November 5, we will present the initial results of the survey as part of an exciting and interactive Community Arts Dialogue.
The Future:
On November 26, the Woodward's Atrium will be filled with youthful energy sharing their vision for community arts in the future. We invite youth-driven organizations who are engaged with community arts, to apply to future@cacv.ca if they wish to have a display, coordinate an activity or offer a performance in this space - anytime between 12 noon and 9pm.
Sincerely,
 Mary Bennett,
Administrator, CACV

Community Arts Council of Vancouver
creates community through the arts.
Our mission: to be the voice for the community arts in Vancouver. We explore critical social issues through creative processes. We foster and support programs, practices and initiatives that develop common understanding through shared experiences.
From its founding in 1946 as the first community arts council in North America to today, CACV has been influential in the arts and culture scene in Vancouver. 2010 program priorities are to support community arts programming and infrastructure in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver; provide leadership in community arts in the City as a whole; and be a leader in the developing field of environmental art.
